Your Home Magazine - August 2018

In this issue

I don’t know about you, but August always makes me think of lazy, hazy summer days; long, balmy evenings and relaxed holiday vibes. But, of course, the British weather often has other ideas! However, as I write, the sun is blazing outside, so I’m praying it continues over the coming weeks. Always ones to look on the bright side, we’ve crammed this issue with plenty of great ideas for enjoying life outdoors. On page 36, we’ve got some gorgeous suggestions for turning your garden into an eclectic, boho space for relaxing and entertaining in, while our craft projects this month will add a colourful fiesta vibe to your home and garden (p.60). We also feature three inspiring readers who have been really creative with their garden rooms and conservatories, transforming them from drab to fab to create spaces they will use all year round (p.24). If you’re looking for ways to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, then look no further than page 106 where you’ll find a wealth of great design ideas and home improvement inspiration. And, if adding a water feature to your garden or patio is on your summer wish list, then take a look at our feature on page 114 to discover smart solutions and brilliant buys for gardens big and small. Though, if all you really want to do is sit back and relax with friends, then why not invite them round for an alfresco supper and treat them to some of our delicious summer berry recipes on page 100?
